Modern highway diesel engines tend to require fuel with a cetane number ranging from 45 to 55.

Typically, regular no. 2 diesel has a cetane number of 40 to 42, while Cenex Premium Diesel has a cetane number of 47 to 52.

Generally, diesel engines operate well with a CN from 48 to 50. Fuels with lower cetane number have longer ignition delays, requiring more time for the fuel combustion process to be completed.
